Re: How Long Does It Take To Get Senior Status?

Yes .

"Maybe it's the anxiety of these modern times, maybe it's just the overactive imaginations of bored shop clerks, but whatever the reason, the truth remains this: A cloud of suspicion hangs over anyone that buys a shovel and pays with cash."

Try losing every ounce of shame you have. For starters, you could try getting arrested for drawing giant pictures of pigeons on a supermarket parking lot.
Then you can move on to making outdoor toilet paper art and stealing snow from the neighbours to make giant snow pigeons.

Somewhere down the line you'll become a senior member for sure.

Now, I'm not trying to say "pay the admins an obscene amount of money for a brown star". The current AP administration team is above that sort of venality.

y'see that box near the top that says 'Donate'? Try it. It can't hurt, right?

It really shouldn't matter anyway it's not like you get power all you get is a brown star to make you feel special.

You also get a larger pm box and invited to all the bitching parties.

Mostly its a way of deferring respect upon members saying "these guys talk a lot about a lot of things and know their stuff, and they *usually* have good things to say. Pay attention to them." Mostly you get it by being active and participating a lot and getting noticed. Some folks get seniored within a year, some that have been around forever still haven't.

There's a waiting list that has about 20 potential people on it at any given time.

Getting into fights or having a bad attitude, especially right around the time of the promoting process, obviously work against you. Getting into *debates*, especially in threads with a lot of people reading them, and having good points and things to say, gets you noticed in a positive way.

And yes, if you have to ask, you aren't getting it.

Only 3-7 people get it throughout the year, so its taken pretty seriously by the staff... though mistakes are made from time to time.
